Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in France during the Restoration period of 1824 to 1830, Charles X perfume caskets are characterised by refined neoclassical proportions, delicate gilt-bronze or brass mounts, and luxurious padded silk interiors designed to hold crystal scent bottles.

These vanity items were typically constructed from patinated or gilded bronze, mahogany, or rosewood, lined with buttoned silk or velvet, and fitted with hand-cut crystal or glass bottles featuring metal collars.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate construction such as hand-cut dovetail joints, cast and chased bronze mounts depicting classical motifs like ribbons or garlands, hand-faceted stoppers, and original silk linings displaying natural aging.

Place the casket in a bedroom or dressing area on a vanity table or sideboard, displaying it slightly open to showcase the interior glass bottles and tufted silk lining alongside modern decorative accents.

Dust metal surfaces gently with a dry microfibre cloth to avoid removing delicate gilding, handle glass bottles carefully with clean hands, and keep the casket away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to preserve the silk lining.
